My concerns? Up front, clearance with the strut. In the rear, should be fine but might be pushing it on the outside with the fender.
Custom designed, engineered and build wheels for E46 M3 however, as I said, I've been told that they'll fit the Z4MC - this from the guy that designed and engineered them and supposedly owns a Z4M too.
Opinions anyone?
Partly don't know why I'm asking, they'll be here next week, should have tires pretty soon so I'll let you all know for sure. Admitedly, it's been a bit of a leap of faith...

Update-
So with these wheels and tires on I was getting basically no rubbing under normal road condition but substantial rubbing up front under full compression. Good dips in the road or very hard cornering on a banked tight curve, like the really twisty mountain roads, would result in pretty good rubbing, inner fender liner, front outside edge. I recently got around to swapping my stock springs and dampners for GC/Koni yellows and Dinan springs. I expected the front to rub more, and it does, now over smaller bumps in the road but not the really small stuff. Now the rear also rubs under moderate compression.
The decision is this - sell them and try something else, or down size tires. The suspension is something that I definitely want on the car and I may change it over to a coil over system (GC makes components to convert the struts to coil over). Lowering any more than the minimal drop with Dinan springs may make it rub even with 245/40 and 275/35 tires.
Opinions welcomed.
